Print Recipe

An easy, romantic dessert recipe featuring rich, velvety molten dark chocolate fondue perfect for two. Quick to prepare and ideal for date nights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) high-quality dark chocolate, chopped (at least 60% cocoa)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • Dippers: fresh strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pretzel sticks, chunks of pound cake or biscotti

Instructions

  1. Finely chop 6 oz (170 g) of dark chocolate and set aside.
  2. Pour ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream into a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat until it just starts to simmer, but do not boil (3-4 minutes).
  3. Add 1 tablespoon (14 g) softened unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar to the warm cream. Stir gently until melted and combined.
  4. Remove the cream mixture from heat and immediately add the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute to soften, then stir slowly with a whisk or spatula until smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir in ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract and, if using, ¼ teaspoon espresso powder.
  6. Pour the molten chocolate mixture into a fondue pot or heatproof bowl. Keep warm over low heat or a tealight candle.
  7. Arrange dippers (strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pretzel sticks, cake chunks) on a platter.
  8. Dip treats into the molten chocolate and enjoy immediately. If chocolate thickens, gently reheat over low heat or briefly in the microwave.

Notes

Use good quality chocolate (avoid chocolate chips). Melt chocolate slowly over low heat or double boiler to prevent scorching. Warm cream before adding to chocolate for smooth texture. Keep fondue warm but not hot to avoid separation. If chocolate seizes, whisk in a tablespoon of warm cream. Prepare dippers while melting chocolate to save time.
